The Constitution states that there will be two senators per state. With the current 50 states, there are 100 Senators.

The number of members in The House of Representatives has been fixed at 435 members since 1911. The number of Representatives for each state is determined by population, with each state guaranteed one representative. South Dakota has one, California has 53. The number of representatives is re-apportioned between states every 10 year census. The highest number of representatives was 437 when Alaska and Hawaii were added in 1959, but reduced by re-apportionment back to 435 after the 1960 census.

Does the US Senate have more people than the US House of Representatives?

No, and here is the reason: United States Senate at full capacity: 100 People United States Representatives at full capacity: 435 People Number of People in US Senate < Number of People in US House of Representatives This is because the United States Constitution prescribes that the House of Representatives based the number of seats on the population size of each state (and since 1910 from 435 seats by Congressional statue), while the US Senate assigns two seats to each state, regardless of the state's size of population.
